Swift 6.4 has been released, bringing improvements across the stack including cross-platform build consistency, stable subprocess support, enhanced interoperability with C++ and Java, faster WebAssembly performance, and better embedded Swift capabilities. The release simplifies everyday programming with features like optional type syntax improvements, compiler warning control, async defer blocks, and enhanced Foundation APIs.
Unison is a statically-typed functional programming language featuring content-addressed code stored as ASTs in a database, enabling perfect incremental compilation, instant renaming, and semantically-aware version control. It supports type inference, an effect system, and can be used standalone or with Unison Cloud for distributed systems development.
U is a new programming language that transpiles PHP, JavaScript, and TypeScript to compiled C binaries, achieving 14K–70K requests per second compared to PHP's 800 req/s and Node's 2.4K req/s. The compiler catches null dereferences and capability violations that LLMs introduce 23–31% of the time, producing tiny, dependency-free binaries suitable for edge computing and resource-constrained environments.
Kern is a European cloud-native programming language designed to enable digital sovereignty by encrypting data at the application layer rather than waiting for European chip manufacturing. Built entirely in itself with minimal trusted code, Kern enforces GDPR, DORA, NIS2, and EU AI Act compliance at compile time and has zero US dependencies.
